How much do you spend on a wedding gift?

We're in peak wedding season, and while the big day often isn’t cheap it seems guests are being asked to splash out even more as well.

While we don’t know what Pippa and James had on their wedding gift list, we can't imagine it was very MoneySaving...

So for each of the poll categories, which is closest to how much you’d spend? Vote once per category…

    The amount I would spend wouldn't really differ depending on who's wedding it is
    If I am a guest at a wedding - I will give a gift of the same value to all couples.


    The only time this may differ would be if I am in the wedding party, or if its a colleagues wedding, and I am invited without my partner etc.


    For close friends, I may give a little extra or get a more personal gift.

    Have only been to one wedding (my first cousin's) and we (me and mum) gave £50 and a memory box which cost about another £10.

    Think £50 is about right in most cases, though if someone were getting married for the 2nd/3rd or more times then I might be inclined to spend less.
